GARY BRAATEN

Gary grew up in Garden City, New York (Long Island) and lived in the house that his father built. Fast forward 13 years and his father enlisted Gary and his brother to help build their family summer cabin in Woodstock Ct. Through these experiences at an early age, I came to understand the value of home ownership. Following my graduation from Wheaton College, and marrying his wife Alia, we bought our first home in 1982 (in Garden City, NY) and lived there for 13 years during which time our 4 daughters were born! My job took me back to Wheaton in 1995 and we bought the home that we currently live in. My transition from working in sales and marketing for high-tech companies to helping people with their real estate needs seems like second nature to me and I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to be a part of the Lance Kammes Team - where doing the right thing and servicing our customers is what we do each and every day.
